Thc talk about Americanizing the islands is heard lit rc as well, but il mean- somewhat . rc than when used by th? good pen plo at hollie, for we recognize more fully the dillicully ol' ?ts accomplish ment, b'p tn thc present lime the Fili pino? have as much \:\\\ pilli /.cd th? for eigners as, they have forcigni/.cd thc natives, so to speak. Their customs arid habits, both social and commer cial, arc fixed. They soon have their influences upon newcomers, ami they have affected in some degree the Kng 1 i sb and (?crinan business men of Alanila. Tho watchword ol' thc people of all nations assembled here is .manana," "to-morrow." This Spanish word seems to cast its paralyzing spell upon ail countries where Spanish influences prevail. Whether thc ancient Filipi nos ever had a better appreciation of the value of time or a higher Hense of devotion to duty than they have now is doubtful. At all events they have for years learned thc lesson of delay and insincerity from their Spanish masters, until it is in the bone, blood and flesh as deeply ingrained as though their savage ancestors had transmitted it to them a? a racial inheritance. Strange to say that is, strange in thc eyes of Americans-its blighting spell has fallen upon the Europeans who do business here, until they abo are as indifferent to the pressing needs of thc hour as the natives. This suggests the thought that it maj' bc possible that Americans coining here may he I'ilipinized. as have been thc (lennans and thc Knglish, instead ol' working the great revolution so cheerfully pre dicted. Certainly they will have the forces of numbers, custom and climate to contend with, and these are no mean antagonists. Let us take, for example, one cus tom, that of the afternoon siesta. Kven business bows to this. One can go through thc chief business streets between Iii and li o'clock and easily imagine himself strolling on a Sunday in an American town, with a well enforced Sunday-closing law. Kven the qtiilez drivers have gone home to sleep. When thc hour of noon conics the merchants politely follow their customers to thc door and lock thc portals, and open them mm again until li, or, perhaps, .'. o'clock, liven thc Knglish banks arc not open for busi ness ?if importance between those hours, ami if ?me enters the institu tion ?>n business intent, one of the [li llians snoozing on a bench will arouse himself sufficiently to say that the clerks have all gon?" to eat and sleep. This he does by poking his fingers at his mouth to indicate thc taking of food in genuine Kilipino style, and by laying hts head over to one side on thc palm of his hand and closing his eyes, to signify sleep. A little exclamation of disgust may bring a compassionate smile and "a las dos, .->cnor.'' which means that he is sorry for you, but you must wait until li o'clock. A few davs ago I entered a photo graph gallery, presided over by an old Cennan and his two full-grown sons. 1 was going to say "operated by." but "presided over" fits the case better, for all three of them entertained mc at thc .same time, and no work of any kind was done during the half-hour I was there. I mude a selection of lid views from thc sample-book, and was informed that they might possibly have them printed for mc in two months. I insisted upon one week, but they shook their hoads and said. "No: it is not possible; wc have so much work so much trouble." Then, it being 12 o'clock, one ol' them fol lowed mc down stairs, locked thc ?loor after mc, and all lay down to sleep off thc afternoon. Of course, one knows that in the tropics one must keep out 'f the sun during thc middle of thc day in summer, but it scarcely sectus necessary to suspend all business dur ing the comparatively cool winter sea son, unless it be tho necessity of habit. Hight here comes iu thc question. Will the Americans change the habit, or will the habit capture the Atneri cans? I am inclined to subscribe tc thc latter alternative, in spite of th( talk 1 hear on all sides about "getting a good American hustle on thc town.' Thc Filipinos do not hustle and can not be made to do so, except for t spasmodic spurt of a few minutes un? der. thc stimulus of vigorous mule .driving Knglish. lt may be that th< Knglish and Germaus here once pro?l ?led them into fitful spells of cnergj I: TO-DAY.

It is thc same with all li el ?i about the office Or house. Such a thing as the delivery of goods from retail stores is unknown, ami even wrapping them up to bc carried j by thc purchaser is not considered a j necessity. If otic goes into a tobac j cellist's for a box of cigars, it is hand ed to him over the counter unwrapped. If he. by pantotninc or thc usc of his 'Spanish at a glance," succeeds in conveying the intelligence that he de sires his purchase wrapped up, a scurch is instituted for a piece of newspaper, and if this he found, thc box is enveloped in it and handed to him with a courtly bow but without string. A few bakery-wagons may be seen going from house to house, and ice-carts and soda-water carts; but be yond these, regular delivery vehicles arc unknown. Nor is the early morning made mel odious by the clatter of milk wagons, (?enuiuc cows' milk is a seiree article I here. The water buffalo supplies most of the milk used, a snow-white liquid containing little cream and having a flavor nomi too pleasant to thc Ameri can palate. There are a few Austra lian cattle kept in the suburbs of Ma nila, apparently of Durham and Devon extraction, but their milk is liquid gold in comparison with thc other. I have seen many small doer-liko Anda lusian cattle, much resembling Jer seys, but they give only a thimbleful of milk, anda number of the white, humped, 'sacred cows of India" we used to stare at in thc menageries, but thc latter are of little value either for mill: orbecf. Instead of milk wagons, bare-legged milkmen trot about with long-necked jars or bainboocd cylin ders hanging from either end of the pole curried on the shoulder. All but ter is imported in tins and is a lusury for thc rich only. Wit a luxuriant growth of grass thc entire year, this ought to be a paradice for cattle, and perhaps Americans will develop its possibilities in this respect. Thc substitute for the butcher cart and the grocer's wagon is the basket of woven bamboo carried from the market on thc head of the customer, almost invariably a woman, a term in cluding girls of ten yearn and tooth less crones. Everything to eat is sold at the "'Mercado." of which there are half a dozen in the city. But let not the reader think of a fulton market, where crisp vegctableu, fresh meat, or clean fish tempt the eye. Let him rather picture to his mind a large building, an open court, or a group of bamboo stalls, dirty, vile-smcning. and unpleasant to the ey?, where crowds of women, sprinkled with the male servants of white residents, make their daily purchases and haggle as long over a ten cent bargain as a white man would over a railroad contract. There are stalls that contain nothing but rice, much inferior to that seen in American markets. Another has a few bananas, squashes, radishes, pota toes, including a poor quality of sweet potato, beaus, peppers, tomatoes of small size. etc. Another has a little joint of meat, generally pork, and an other several kinds of tish, including a miniature specimen, of which a dozen could bc picked up on a spoon, and which arc eaten raw as a great deli cacy by the natives. Otto stall has small clams, another the little native oysters, and another shrimp or prawns. Still another is devoted to chickens, the great edible staple of the Filipinos next to rice, and more often seen on the table than beef. Kggs, both of chickens and ducks, are the sole stock of other ven ders, while cakes of brown native su gar and a kind of chocolate paste occupy thc baskets of another. In the summer season green corn, both roasted or boiled and fresh, finds a ? place in thc market. It is not bad ; corn, but is brought to thc market ; hard, lt requires a great deal of urgent talk to make thc Filipino mar . kct woman understand that the Amer i ican purchaser prefers the corn in thc . milk, but when this has been accom plished it is possible to contract for a ; special picking to eater to this taste. .

Thc work of thc street gangs is thorough, but painful to wit ness from a utilitarian point of view. A small patch having been properly coated with the rock and gravel, a do/.cn Filipinos line up in two ranks on opposite sides of six tamping blocks with long handles, two grasping each handle. One of them starts a march song, and the blocks are raised about six inches and allowed to fall at each beat in the measure, the bodies of the men swaying in rhythm with the music, their feet being moved tq the right or left, forward or back, like the step in a schottische. This is done for about live minutes, and then all squat down to rest and smoke ciga rettes for ten minutes, and in this way thc whole dozen accomplish about the work of two good Irishmen of an American paving gang. Iron rollers seem not yet to have been heard of in Manila. The keeping of the streets in good condition by wetting them is also an artistic performance. A street sprink ler consists of three men, 20 feet of hose without a nozzle, and a water plug key. One man turns on the wa ter, another operates the hose, using his lingers fora sprayer, and the third squats on his haunches and bosses the job. In this way half-a-dozen blocks may be sprinkled in the course of a day._ A Disgrace to the Klag. ,1 ACKSON vi i.i.K, FI.OIUHA, March Iii. William Willard Howard, general man ager of the Cuban industrial relief fund, of New York, passed through Jacksonville this evening on his way home from (.'nba. He goes North to purchase agricultural implements and seeds tor the use of the industrial relief station which he has just established at 1*nines, Cuba. Mr. Howard said: "The condition of Cuba, so far as my observations have gone, is really worse than it was at. this time last year, when i made my first investigations. In tin1 rural districts little has been done to restore the island to its normal romlitiou. The fields are vacant ami the farmers idle. Thc people still re main in the towns and cities, where army rations are isstted to them. They cannot return to their abandoned ('arm's because thev have nothing to return with. '(Mir lGovernment has ?lone, and is doing, nothing to enable farmers to re stimethe cultivation of their lauds. All that it pretends to ?lo is to distribute rations through local committees of Cubans, (iovernor (Jouerai llrookcaud the ollieers under hitit realize keenly thc condition of things, but they can not give any assistance except food. Ours is not a paternal government. ..The condition of the widows and orphans of Cuba tire heartrending-. There are thousands upon thousands of these poor creatures scattered over the island. They have neither homes to live in, food lo cat? nor clothes to cover them. due cannot think of their future without a shudder. I am espe cially concerned for the poor little or phan girls, who ronni the streets, scan tily clad, asking for a bit of food with which to keep their little bodies and souls together. What will become of these girls? Their future, for good or for evil, lies with HU? people of the United States. "Among these widows and orphans I have as lately ns lust week seen indi vidual cases of-destitution and physical emaciation worse than anything that1 saw in Armenia during the two years that I gave to Armenian relief work. And to have these wrecks td' humanity stand and look up to the Stars and Stripes waving over their City Hall gives one a queer sensation. The gen erous American people surely cannot understand the condition of Cuba, or these poor creatures would be taken care ot. *I ?ht not speak of the sick, tho in firm, or of those who hobble about, covered with loathsome sores, resulting from starvation. I cannot speak of them, for the Knglish language is inad equate to the task. Thev should have been cared for in hospitals long months ugo. Why it has not been done 1 can not understand. "The condition of Cuba is it reproach to the America'.! people timi a blot upon civilization. We are going to do some thing to improve that condition and we invite all lovers of humanity in the rutted States to help us for the good name of the American tlag. -Mir ting diould mean something to those home less, helpless orphans and destitute country people. Money for these or phans or for our industrial relief work should be sent to the Continental Trust Company, MO H road street. New York City, marked, "For the Cuban Indus trial Relief Fund." I have been afflicted with rheuma tism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but con stantly suffering. 1 had tri*id every thing I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Fain Halm, which 1 did, and was immediately re lieved and in a short time cured.

Ry order of J. R. GORDON, (Jen. Coni'g. - mm -m>- nm* -. Falling Off in the Tax on Fertilizers. The receipts from the inspection and analysis of fertilizers have fallen off this year. Tho receipts to date have been but $34,000, against 8150,102.75 last year, and i-U.-'is:!.?.") the year be fore. In 1H?>H for the entire year the re ceipts run up to over .*00,(KK), and it may be that there will this year be u pru jiortionate gain until the mueh-tlesired minimum ot' J?40,OOO is obtained. All of this tax has heretofore been given to Clemson College. That Insti tution this year asked for an appro priation of $40,000 from the State, or rather stated that that sum would he all that would he needed to operate the institution. Thc privilege or inspection or tug tax caused the legislature, more trouble than any other except the dispensary; for the proceeds of this tax arc devoted ! to a special institution, and it has been decided by the United States supreme court that sucha tax tor tlie mainten ance of a special institution is not con stitutional. Several attempts wove made to reduce the tax from 25 cents a ton, hut the ti nal outcome was that the law was amended so that on its face it complied with the constitution and still permitted the funds after passing through the State treasury to he tie voted to Clemson College avowedly for the purpose of remunerating that in stitution' for the expense attached to the inspection of fertilizers, all inspec tions being made at Clemson. That hill has not become a law, UK it has never been signed bv Governor El leihe. The falling ott*in the receipts from thc inspection of fertilizers then is due to the fact that fertilizers are not find ing, and may not timi, such a heavy sale this year, or that, the planting sea son is long in coming anti uncertain in its outlook, and farmers are afraid to contract for fertilizers under suelrcon ditions.-77ie State. - "Why Johnnie, you've got a big lump on your head !
